New big - Rebounder or Shooter?

[Strategic]

One that's 6'10" and can make a lay up and a free throw.

This is my first thread...and like a good thread i have a question...maybe not a good one...we'll see.
So, if the Spurs get a big, what kind of big is better.
Assuming we get a big that can take a jumpshot, then he could play with Tiago and Duncan.
If the big cant shoot, then Tiago and this new big wont be able to play together (?).
Depending on the scenario, Tiago could be a starter with Duncan or be on the bench (assuming the new big starts with TD).
Then again Tiago is getting more minutes and he and the new big have to be able to play together, in that case the big has to take jumpshots. I wouldnt like having to bigs under the basket because neither of them can shoot.

Im pretty sure i could have wrote the same in half the sentences...ha (what the , im a german living in argentina with an italian nationality...)

So, what do you think about this?

Please provide a link or article where Pop publicly states that the Spurs need or want or are actually looking for a BIG.

A combination of both would be great. Someone like Marc Gasol, who plays tough defense and can hit that open mid range shot with regularity.

The FO passed on Marc Gasol to draft Splitter. No seconds!

No one did...at least I haven't heard it.
But then again, I'm probably taking a shower today, and you know what? I didn't tell anybody.

The Bucks have too many bigs. They've got Henson, Udoh, Dalembert, Sanders. All guys that are better than Bonner/Blair. Getting one of those guys would allow us to move Diaw to SF more and reduce how much small ball we have to play.

I really like Sanders, he is a complete player.

They do have (at least for now) Jennings and Ellis. Not sure what the Spurs can offer them.

I think the Spurs need an upgrade in talent, not just a defensive big. Duncan is still a top player, Splitter and Diaw should come from the bench, but the Spurs need an borderline all-star bigman to start. Not sure what kind of money would West command, if the Spurs stay under the luxury tax, they could offer an MLE contract or arrange a S&T with the Pacers.
